That's the part I enjoy about the game. I hate going into a city and having to go around talking to everyone, it takes so long. I prefer just to bounce from location to location doing sidequests along the way.

This is the way I have played all TES games: just do whatever random stuff I run into. It's very non linear and feels natural, but I do miss the structure of the main storyline the designers are trying to tell. But I find myself 50 hours in with only about 25% of the main quest complete, although having a had a blast getting to 50 hours...
